The Rottendorf clothing group S.Oliver Group and Katja Konradi are going their separate ways. On Thursday, S.Oliver Bernd Freier GmbH & Co. KG announced that Konradi, who most recently held the position of Director Product S.Oliver, had left the company. The separation took place “by mutual agreement,” according to a statement. “We would like to thank Ms. Konradi for her outstanding commitment and wish her all the best for her future professional and private life.”
The former head designer of the fashion company Marc Cain came to S.Oliver in January 2020 and initially held the position of Head of Design for the S.Oliver Red Label Women area. In March 2021, Konradi was promoted to Director Product S.Oliver. According to the company, in this role she was responsible for “all S.Oliver product areas of womenswear, menswear and kids & juniors as well as the creative direction of the licenses”.
During her time at S.Oliver, Konradi “initiated significant innovations that were necessary for the change of the brand,” the company explained in a statement. “She has significantly developed the collections further in terms of design and strategic structure and brought a clear signature to all segments that appeals to additional target groups.”
